I'd go bonkers, how bloody annoying

Maybe she should dye the moustache a nice purple.

OMG I would go mad as well...!

when we told my dad ds2's name he said "why didn't you call him Michael?" (Nobody had ever mentioned Michael. Think he dreamed it.)

Then on his 1st birthday the card said "happy birthday young man" because he hadn't a clue what his name was.

(Not as bad as cutting hair I know!)

Oh janh you must do lunch with mama

she hasn't got a moustache i'm in denial, things like that are genetic

I have certain members of my family that will only call him Noel aswell, grrrrrr

(It has just been pointed out to me that my son is 5 not 4 as i posted earlier, thankyou Popsycal)

that is sooo out of order. Agree with JJ that she definitely phoned you once the deed was done. She was obviously 100% sure you'd say yes and be eternally grateful to her.

I have clippers, thankyou, they have been used, now i have a thug, don't play games with me Mother dear

Do you think jj and kayliegh!!!!! I just worked out what you mean!

Why don't you take it once step further, FF, mohawk what's left of his hair, dye it orange and blue (use wash-out dyes). Take him 'round your mum's and say , "Thanks, you got it started for me!"

good idea gz, i may

When my DS was about 18 months he had quite long, curly at the back, hair. We were staying at my parents' for a few days and his hair was obviously annoying them as it kept getting commented on.
Final straw for my DM was when someone in a supermarket asked about her 'granddaughter'. 'I was so embarrassed to have to correct her'.

Whilst I was distracted with DS2 in another room my mother cut DS1's hair. She didn't tell me even though he looked terrible. I was so angry with her I couldn't speak to her (our relationship was a little tense at this point).

She then announced to me in a cafe the next day that she had cut it. As if I hadn't bloody noticed - his fringe was about 2 millimetres long FFS. Told her never to do it again etc but she couldn't see what she'd done wrong.

sorry to here that fairy fly i canunderstand why your anoid

Fairyfly - my Mum is the same as yours. She's cut my DD's hair in my absence too - without asking - several times too. Makes me so angry too - especially as dd's hair isn't even that long anyway.

I also had to LOL at your answer to goosey's 1st question below - that is my mum exactly !

Oh fairyfly i'd be LIVID.

At a recent stay with the In-Laws 2B, dp's mother keot on saying (about 5 times), that there are some lovely styles around now for little girls!

I just kept saying,"oh we like it natural!"

If anyone cut it i'd kill them!!

suedonim, what made me think of it was one of my friends, when she was first married, lived in a cottage on her MIL's farm. They paid the MIL rent initially then took over the mortgage.

When my friend was out at work, MIL would let herself in, rearrange the furniture, adjust the central heating thermostat, and re-organise the kitchen cupboards.

Friend and dh had many arguments about this - with her saying he had to tell his mother to stop. Culminated in friend taking a baseball bat and knocking a great big hole in the stud wall between the bedroom and the bathroom, punctuating each smack of the bat with "it's my f*king house and I can do what I f*king like with it."

He spoke to his mother the next day and she never came in uninvited again!

I would be beside myself if my mum even suggested he needed a hair cut - let alone do it herself! You deserve your rant!

Will we be like them? My Mum has rearranged my furniture for me (I made her move it all back) and has dropped strong hints about DD2 needing a haircut "to thicken it up a bit". But I don't think she'd have the nerve to do it herself.

My friend came home from work early one day and found her MIL and her friend having acup of tea in the kitchen. She didn't even know MIL had a key. MIL said "Oh, Mildred wanted to see your new house so I thought I'd show her!"

She was well out of order, if it really needed cutting for "school" she should have taken him to a hairdressers and got it done properly as a "treat" or the other old chestnut "to save you time". No way should she have attempted it herself. In the US you could probably sue her for assault LOL.

My mum came to NZ armed with clippers and asked every time he was awake if she could cut it. He has curly hair which can look quite mad if left at the back and over the ears so I let her. She got bored after about 10 minutes and I had to finish off!

At the park last week 3 different people told their older children to "watch that little girl", but he had a hat on and you couldn't see his hair at all.

OOh I hate kids with long matted hair or gorls with long hair when its all thin and ratty

am deperate to persuade my niece to let me hack about 6 inches off hers

Oooh, it would make me cross, cross, cross ff. at some of these stories! Bloody hell, MI, Suedonim, Marthamoo and Tanzie! Hilarious!
